re: #33 The Ghost of a Flea

There are terrorists who are Japanese citizens. There are terrorists who are Chinese citizens.

This is CLEARLY not simply a list of countries where terrorist might come from. Look at the other named countries. This is not a list of countries that might be an origin point for terrorists. You leave out the phrase “shown a tendency”. It is very important.

“shown a tendency” is not the same as “does”. You want to parse this to the extreme, then you have to include that phrase.

Israel has not shown a tendency to promote terrorism.
Israel has not shown a tendency to protect terrorism.

and Israel has not shown a tendency to produce terrorism.

Unless you accept the idea that support for Israel produces terrorism.
